 * Hi,
 * the issue based on using PHP 5.3 that causes these messages in the analysis:
 * > The keyword doesn’t appear in the first paragraph of the copy, make sure the
   > topic is clear immediately.
   >  The keyword density is 0%, which is a bit low,
   > the keyword was found times.
 * is still existing in WPSEO versions 1.5 up to 1.5.2.
 * I was so much hoping for a fix to be included. Has anybody heard of a fix or 
   how to solve the issue other than upgrading PHP to 5.4 or above? Because that
   is not possible for many people I spoke to, including myself, who run on managed
   servers that don’t get upgraded by the hoster and who cannot just switch hosters
   due to running contracts.
 * I understand and appreciate this is a free plugin. Very much! But it would be
   fantastic to have that fixed.
